    Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor Review

    Thank you very much for the advice. This channel is very good, I have downloaded its database. I have been doing some more research and I narrowed my search down to these three: Kali Audio WS-6.2 (579€) JBL LSR 310 S (498€) KRK S10G4 (395€)

    Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor Review

    I'm already looking for a subwoofer to match the pair. I can't afford a new Genelec 7050, so I'm exploring the possibility of a JBL LSR 310 S, a Yamaha HS 8S or an RCF Ayra Pro10.

    Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor Review

    I wrote the previous post before reading yours. So you have made some measurements that corroborate the endurance of these speakers. Ok. Another excellent first-hand information.

    Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor Review

    Haha... All these disasters leave very clear traces, which does not seem to be the case... Good first-hand information. Maybe someone will think of measuring with machines what happens over time with our favorite speakers, because in this component there are physical movements that imply, I...

    Genelec 8030C Studio Monitor Review

    A silly question: I've seen a pair of 8030 CPMs for sale at a very good price. They look well maintained, used only in the studio. They're five years old. Are they too old? How long does this type of speaker stay in mint condition before it starts to age?

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I'm impressed with the clamorous reception among the most classically audiophile influencers of the D90 III Discrete. It's all praise and compliments about the "soundstage", "the warmth", "the image", etc. They are the same ones who are not able to see anything particularly good in the D50 III...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Now I understand: only devices capable of entering values below 0.5 are able to import EQ files. I think this makes sense.

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Fantastic job, thanks a lot. It makes perfect sense to me that the A50's star gain is the M. I have a dirt cheap headphone plugged into the M right now and it has plenty of power. The HE400es needs more gain and I had to move it to the H. Based on my tastes, the A50 III is the bare minimum that...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I know, but most of us here are looking for the best settings even if we can't hear them :facepalm: Very interesting values, thanks. I was just wondering how the SINAD varies according to the three levels of input gain of the A50 III. I received the HE400se but I returned it quickly. Its...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Thanks. Yes, I meant isolator. Ok, I don't have any weird noise problems, but I have a PC with a lot of fans and gadgets plugged in and I found it beneficial to "protect" the SINAD. It's probably better to spend that money on something else.

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I power the DAC separately from the USB connection to the PC. Would you recommend placing an isolator on the connection to the PC?

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I note that DFU mode does not always get stuck. I'm glad your D50 is working properly. As I said above, the first few hours with devices are a tricky subject. I spent many hours trying to understand its behavior regarding power supply, on/off and standby. There are things that still don't add up...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    I'm inclined to think that reinstalling the drivers did the trick. Hasn't your DAC been stuck in DFU mode every time you reboot it?

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    The first few days with our new devices are always complicated, because we are not familiar with their behavior and many things seem abnormal to us. Even worse when the instructions are not clear, often due to a bad translation. Don't forget to install the drivers before updating. That may be...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    That's how I understand it and that's how I did it too. Others are having the same problems as well. That's why I think it's best to advise against using DFU mode.

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Attention: the official instructions for updating the firmware are wrong. On the download page it says: https://www.toppingaudio.com/download/d50-iii-v1-37gu-jian-sheng-ji-2 "To upgrade the firmware, the product must be set to DFU mode: Power on while holding down the button on the left side...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Thank you for your quick reply. 1) My d50 III only goes into standby mode (with the dot in the bottom right corner) when I manually turn it off, or manually disconnect the USB cable from the PC, or the PC goes into standby mode. But I think this is the normal behavior of this model after reading...

    Topping D50 III Balanced DAC with EQ Review

    Hello, greetings to everyone and congratulations for such excellent contributions that you all make. I have a question: I just bought the d50 III + a50 III and everything works as it should, except for one thing that seems strange to me: the D50 never goes into standby mode if it is connected...
